at home in our white-sided farm house, i’m poised to write as i sit by my small white-laminate study desk in our quiet, white-walled guest room. bare square of first day of new year on the white-paged calendar stares back at me. i look out white-framed window before me into our white-drifted snowy grove, hoping for inspiration but mind feels blank, like tv screen white-out.
over past year, i’ve often gazed out this same window, inspired by natural scene of trees with white-sunlit leaves waving in breezes. i’ve watched white-puffed daydream clouds sail summer skies while squirrels played in the grass, rising on haunches to show white-furred bellies.
why would someone park canoe trailer with white-topped carrier full of life vests right in center of my woodsy window view? old skeletal metal rack with two aluminum white-stickered canoes mounted upside down and tied with bungee straps distracts my vision. without the sun, everything feels cold on this white-iced winter day.
it’s twenty-twenty
year clear for perfect vision
life needs fresh outlook
I wrote this on Jan. 1 and it seems to fit with Bjorn’s “beginning(again)” haibun challenge at dVerse poets pub.

I pondered that perfect vision aspect for this year, also.

With all those white surfaces … you need the ink of words… and I think you found it when musing.

White is featured throughout your beginning…a blank slate waiting for the blaze of color a new year brings! May it be so.

Waiting for a blaze of color…I like that, Bev!

Oh yes, Lynn, we need some 20:20 vision right now!

Both eyes (sides) need to work together!

your detailing took us with you at this particular moment. the haiku leaks of lesson needed for this new decade, Lynn.

Thanks for your comments…yes, perhaps more a senryu (human) than haiku (nature).
